The Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, has said that he stayed firm by the media trial taken by the EFCC against him. He said the EFCC and the APC should wait till he finishes his tenure in 2018 and he will confront all “their lies”. He accused the anti-graft commission of consorting stories in an attempt to destroy his appearance.
He said when the EFCC probed him in 2006, he challenged them in the court on their cook up stories on poultry project, and they failed to validate all accusations against him which dissolved their case. This did not stop him from having a second term as governor of Ekiti State, and it will still not prevent him from handling over to PDP in 2018.
He said, “If what the EFCC and its collaborators are now relying on is a driver or a source in EFCC that speaking for Zenith Bank, and not the former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd) that they claimed gave the former Minister of State for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro money to give me, goodluck to them. He also stated, “I will meet them in court and the whole world will again listen to their feeble stories as it happened in poultry saga.”
